    Been away but started sorting some of the stuff ive been sitting on

    Hello everyone! My back forced me to stop scraping for some time so ive just been sitting on all the boards i have. I had most of the green boards into a peripheral stack but then I remembered that some might be higher grade so i thought i would see what you guys think.
    These first ones are out of printers w/ card readers on them and they are what made me go through the boards again. I remember seeing that some printer boards are sorted as higher (mothergrade?) than peripheral, but I dont know if these are the ones people are talking about. I have more boards that are out of printers, but they are mixed in w/ the others and i dont remember where each came from but I will post some of the mix pictures.

    These 3 have card slots. More than peripheral?
    [

    More card slots and something else w/ gold? post?

    What about ones w/ just usb?


    The one on the top left came out of a cable/satellite box. The one beside it to the right has an emprom, and most of the others are from printers i think or other computer except for the bottom 2 small ones.


    Peripheral right? I guess I just want to see if any higher so I can sort the rest going by whats on the higher one/s.



    These whitish boards on the center, right and bottom are low grade right? The one on the top left say telecom but it doesnt look like much. Its the only telecom i have.


    What about these guys?



    Other stuff w/ hopefully gold but its all i have like this besides a dozen or so finger cards. Those 4 on the top right come off flat screens right and they contain gold? None of these things are much weight alone.






    one last one.. this one w/ the rca (i think thats what they are called) receptacles. Not much on it, would it increase its grade if i took them off? The one on the right top is mid grade bc of all the stuff bc ic on it? thought the top left was from a router but it has a turn knob like volume so not sure but not much on it.



    Hopefully w/ all this and the other stuff i have i will have enough to ship it to one of our buyers unless someone knows of someone in east central florida. I dont think i have enough for me or anyone else to do much driving. I do have 2 extra large tubs of low grade stuff and it would be nice to sell it all at one time considering no yard over here will take them. I know there are few in orlando that will but Ive been out of the loop.

    I appreciate all the resources on this board and all the people that jumped to help me when I started. I wanted to give a little back so i thought i would share what i discovered last wk. Ive gone through a few(read 6) heating pads in the last year w/ my back and neck, so i started tinkering to see if i could combine some of them to come up w/ one or 2 that worked. well what did i find when i started cracking them open...????





    gold!! <-on the circuit board.

    ok the site would not let me post all the pics so heres some i deleted.

    telecom and red board out of either a cordless or old box car phone.


    The red one above had a little gold finger looking card that i popped off but dont see where it connected to gold so maybe it connected to a lcd and i threw it out. Kind of interesting.


    I have a several more of different sizes like the ones w/ screens in this pic. Mid grade? I dont know if those little click buttons are worth anything on a board. I have a bunch like that one w/ nothing but the round click buttons. Also mid?


    For some reason i also saved a bunch of brown on one side green on the other w/ not much besides click buttons and lcds. The green/browns like that are just low grade right? The ones in the pic are green on both sides but i have a tube of the g/b.

    I can't see all your photos, the one you said maybe a volume knob might be an old CDROM board
    The brown W/ little buttons, inside the little buttons might be a tiny thin gold looking (aluminum foil thick) round thing inside

    dag is there a x where the pic should be? i re-sized them before i uploaded them to shutterbug. Are they one the first or 2nd post? I will take a look.

    I think i remember being in a discussion concerning removing the gold on those little buttons. For that last picture, the bottom board for example, if thats not gold is the board just low grade? I have others w/ ic and stuff, lots w/ buttons and mainly just those lcd screens. I know there has been talk of refining those screens but i dont think i ever saw anyone say they were buying them for that purpose. Those boards are pretty empty besides the buttons and screens.
